Basically
You get to control powerful giants, that will provide the skills to shape the planet to your will. Mountains, Oceans, Forests, you create them all to enrich the Earth to allow life to live long but you have no control over the humans, but you have to make sure you shape their world but not them. Provide fairly or you will suffer with their greed.
Will you be a fair God or a benevolent overlord? That is up to you.

Mizu's Thoughts
My first encounter with this game gave me the illusion that it will be simple, but that was short lived after the first mission. There is also many factors in this game and  how you adapt to them impacts the game as a whole, otherwise no one will want to inhabit the little Earth you lord over. Though, I admit, I enjoy the idea of controlling a whole planet and how it develops. Though, I got it on special.

There isn't much of a story, like the last few visual novels I seem to be playing a lot. So, with this story, you control the giants and attribute to the lifestyle of this little planet.
It's rather simple, it teaches you how to play the game and then pushes you into the game afterwards. There is a plethora of skills and crossover abilities when combining two giant skills together, such as certain plants for certain climates. It is simple but it is a rewarding game for all players.

In regards to the music of the game, it suits the feel of the game and make it rather pleasant and this works well with the nice simplicity of the games graphics and is nice on the eyes. It is not overbearing like a few games from the same genre and I approve of this game and people should give this game a shot.

Pros: This game has high appeal, especially people who finds enjoyment in simulation games.
Cons: It's a bit slow, mainly starting and moving the giants. The game is confusing at first as well.

Final Say
Conclusion, I found this game to be enjoyable and many hours of future play being clocked, considering I get to control the way the world works and see how my people will survive.
I recommend this game but possibly for people over 13 years, since it does have a lot of planning needed and patience is needed as well.

Score: 4.1 out of 5
